Why Indonesia.
Indonesia — Southeast Asia's largest economy — is a fast-growing study destination with English-taught programmes at well-regarded universities such as Universitas Indonesia, ITB and Gadjah Mada. Living costs are very low, the government runs generous scholarships (KNB and Darmasiswa), and students enjoy a warm, diverse, tropical setting at the heart of ASEAN.

What it really
costs.
Indonesia is among the most affordable study destinations in Asia. Tuition and living are both low — use this as a planning guide (figures in USD); scholarships can reduce them substantially.
* Private and international programmes sit higher; KNB and Darmasiswa scholarships frequently cover tuition and living.
Cost of living
Jakarta is the priciest city and still affordable by global standards; Bandung and Yogyakarta are cheaper. Low rents, inexpensive local food and cheap transport keep monthly budgets very low.
